I'm 38 weeks along and Baby B continues to grow. Friday we had an ultrasound to confirm her growth and learned she is 6 lbs, 5 oz! She's like a little newborn still in my belly. Our bags are packed and we have everything ready to go. Tonight we have a dinner reservation to celebrate our 3rd anniversary. We also took Spence to the park to play and stopped by to see little Ava. Baby B hasn't dropped yet so I think we have a little longer to wait... Here's what she's up to now at 38 weeks:
- If she is the "average baby," she weights 6.8 pounds and is 19.6 inches.
- Have you noticed she hiccups a lot? Because there is no air around her, those breathing exercises cause amniotic fluid to get into her windpipe. The result? Hiccups!
- Your child's intestines are accumulating lots of meconium. Meconium takes on the role of being your baby's first bowel movement -- removing the waste that has accumulated.
- She may have a full head of hair now -- an inch or more long! Don't be surprised if it's an unexpected color. Some blond couples have dark haired babies; some dark haired couples have red-haired babies; some couples have babies with only peach fuzz! It may just persuade you to take a closer look at your family tree!
- Circumference of head and abdomen are about the same size for your baby. No wonder it's so hard to get a t-shirt over a newborn's head!
